Red Bean Paste Recipe~

This is my variation of the red bean paste recipe.

Ingredients

• 250 g Red beans
• 1 L Water
• 70 g Sugar
• 50 g Rice malt sugar (maltose)
• 2 Tbs Rice bran oil (other alternatives: corn oil or olive oil)
• 1 tsp Pandan essence

Method

1. Soak the red beans in 1litre of water, cover it and leave it overnight.

2. Boil the red beans in a pot and allow it to simmer for about an hour till the beans are soft and mashy.

3. Allow the red beans to cool slightly then mash them through a sieve.

4. Add the oil, mashed red beans , sugar and maltose into a non-stick pan and stir over medium heat till well incorporated (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat, add in the pandan essence and stir well to mix.

5. Leave it to cool to room temperature before using. Or store in an air-tight container and keep refrigerated for later use.
